This instructable will teach you how to make a deliciously chocolate cake from scratch! This instructable is meant for those who have never or barely ever bake delicious cakes. Mine was an early mothers day gift (Well it kind of was a spur of the moment decision, I just wanted to bake a cake!) My cake is not necessarily Beautiful, but it sure is good! This recipe is made up of 3 recipes.

1. Double chocolate cake: this is a deliciously moist chocolate cake that I added a few handfuls of chocolate chips to.
2. Cinnamon chocolate fudge frosting (Don't you just love that name!): This is a really creamy and sugary frosting that I successfully added some cinnamon to.
3. Dark chocolate spread: I made this with baking chocolate, some milk, and an egg (make sure it's a good egg because you are basically eating it raw)

In total:

1 bar bakers chocolate
Chocolate jimmies for decorating
1 1/2 cup (about 300 g) butter
1 3/4 c milk
3 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
6 tbsp cocoa
1 3/4 cup white sugar
4 eggs

Right now you should start letting the butter get to room temperature (it should get soft, but not too soft). If you think you can make the cake batter quickly, or if your oven takes a long time to heat up, you should start preheating your oven to 350.

Instead of your parchment 'thing bakers use to apply frosting with', you can make an icing sleeve by cutting the corner off of a stiff bag (like a thick Ziplock bag -- thinner bags will stretch). Leave the top of the bag 'un-zipped' or poke a hole near the top so air can escape and you don't end up popping the bag as you squeeze the frosting out.

Put an equal sign (=) on both sides of the words.

Example: =Eggs=
That will come out as:

Eggs
